Hicks: Nick Cannon dumped Kim Kardashian over sex tape

Kim Kardashian's sex tape caused Nick Cannon to dump her, the former Nickelodeon star said last week on the "Howard Stern Show."

Shouldn't we use the word "escape" instead of "dump?"

According to the Huffington Post, the 32-year-old "America's Got Talent" host, currently married to Mariah Carey, said Kardashian lied to him about the now-notorious tape, which she made with former boyfriend Ray J.

Calling Kardashian a "great businesswoman," Cannon also suggested that Kardashian may have leaked the tape herself.

May have?

"This was my issue. We talked about this tape. And she told me there was no tape. If she might have been honest with me I might have tried to hold her down and be like 'That was before me' because she is a great girl. She's actually one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. But the fact that she lied and told me that there was no tape? And I still think she might have even had a part to play with (its release)."

He talks as if Kim Kardashian wanted her terrible burden of being famous. That's really hard to believe.
